Han
The Han Sword is a cavalry pattern from the
Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD), which reunited
China and established boundaries very similar
to those existing today. The rosewood grip
and scabbard are inlaid with silver in an intricate scroll pattern, while the gilded steel guard,
pommel and scabbard decorations feature the
“crouching tiger” motif. The random pattern
K120C Damascus blade, with its ridged central
fuller and reinforced point is admirably suited for
slashing cuts and powerful thrusts from horseback.

Qing
DYNASTY
The traditional perception of the Taiji sword
becomes very apparent in the Qing Sword.
The last of the Chinese Dynasties, the Qing
(Ching) Dynasty was overthrown by rebellion as
late as 1911, by which time the Taiji sword had
completed its evolution into the “modern” form.
The sword is crafted around a beautifully patternwelded K120C blade with a flattened diamond
section. The guard and pommel are constructed
of gilded steel featuring a flying bat design,
which in Chinese ideology symbolizes luck. The
scabbard decorations are in gilded brass and the
intricate knot-work of the tassel is art in its own
right.
